PHOENIX, Ariz. – Vice President JD Vance closed out AmericaFest 2025, Turning Point USA's first convention since founder Charlie Kirk's assassination, by telling a raucous crowd that the "America First" movement is open to free thinkers who love their country.

Vance appeared shortly after Erika Kirk, who took TPUSA's reins after her husband's death in September, held a discussion with surprise guest Nicki Minaj. The vice president told the crowd that the political coalition forged by President Trump is strong enough to surmount disagreements within.

"People of every faith come to our banner because they know that the America First movement will make our lives better," he went on. "They know Democrats don't care about anything other than trans-ing their kids."

Vowing to stand with "every patriot in this room to defend the country we so dearly love," Vance dismissed conservative infighting that had gone on earlier in the conference, while not naming any of the podcasters or subjects involved.
